Over 1300 days ago, historic legislation - the Public Health Alcohol Act - that provided a suite of measures to curb the demand and supply of alcohol, and protect our children from alcohol promotion was enacted by you and your Oireachtas colleagues.

While progress has been made in commencing many provisions, particularly those on Price and Availability, a key measure that would ensure citizens are informed of the inherent health risk from alcohol use, including the direct link between alcohol and fatal cancers, still lay dormant, awaiting a Commencement Order by the Minister for Health.

There is no ’safe’ threshold of alcohol consumption and even low to moderate amounts of alcohol are a risk when it comes to cancer.

A recent global Lancet study found that in 2020 there were approximately 1000 alcohol related cancer cases in Ireland – 670 in men and 380 in women.

I am asking you to commit your efforts to ensure that the citizen's Right To Know is fulfilled.

I look forward to hearing your response and your active support.
Yours
